Nursery children in Russia have been forced to simulate hostage situations at gunpoint in nationwide anti-terror drills.
Pictures shared across the country showed kindergarten and primary school children taking part in exercises involving balaclava-clad “terrorists” pointing guns at them.
So Putin’s planning a ‘foreign’ terrorist action against Russian kindergartens. Got it.
Traumatized children are more fear driven, easier to control.
oh shit. i’d link the image from the article just that you can see what it’s about (in case you don’t read the article) but it’s outright nightmare stuff.
anyways, that’s all propaganda. they want to install in the children that “oh there’s so dangerous foreigners that we need to fight against them, that’s why you do right to join the military one day” etc.
The Moscow Times shared a few pictures from a drill held in April last year.
Schools across Russia and occupied parts of Ukraine on Tuesday began anti-terrorism drills simulating hostage crises and drone strikes. According to media reports, hundreds of institutions, including kindergartens, secondary schools, technical colleges and children’s camps, are taking part in the two-day exercises.
Keeping the kids safe by traumatizing them. Got it.
Don’t forget the FSB had a “drill” where they tried to blow up an apartment building in Ryazan, during a spate of actual apartment bombings test public vigilance. Or so they claim.

Surely they’re not using loaded guns and properly checked that they were empty, right?
What’s that saying about it is easier to ‘lead’ people when they’re scared?
